Virtual Learning Stress: Addressing Anxiety In EFL Adult Learners at Indonesian Private Universities

The increasing reliance on virtual learning in higher education has supported the development of flexible and accessible learning environments, yet it may also heighten anxiety among students, particularly those studying English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Although virtual learning tools offer significant advantages, research on their psychological impact remains limited, highlighting a gap between technological advancements and understanding of their effects on student well-being. This study examines the relationship between virtual learning and student anxiety, exploring the strategies students use to manage this challenge. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with 22 English-major undergraduates. Findings indicate that students often experience anxiety due to technological distractions and comprehension difficulties in virtual classrooms. However, students mitigate this anxiety by adopting positive thinking and engaging in relaxing activities. These insights underscore the need for supportive virtual learning environments that prioritize students' emotional well-being alongside academic outcomes.

Sentiment Analysis of National Health Security Mobile Application Review Using Machine Learning

It is widely acknowledged that digital transformation provides the opportunity for business process improvements. We can see many businesses, specifically in Indonesia's private and public sectors, leveraging technology to provide better service to their stakeholders. This research seeks insight into stakeholders’ engagement in digital transformation in the Indonesian healthcare system, namely the National Health Security Mobile application (Mobile JKN). This study employs a quantitative method to analyze user sentiment from Google Play reviews. Firstly, user reviews are extracted, preprocessing steps are applied, and machine learning-based sentiment labeling is employed afterward to categorize them into positive, neutral, and negative sentiments.

Exploring Servant Leadership and Intrapreneurship with Organizational Antecedents in Indonesian Schools

The applicability of the servant leadership concept is still growing, and researchers are currently exploring model development. On the other hand, since organizations need to innovate in order to adapt proactively to change and ensure sustainability, intrapreneurship becomes particularly important for the development of any organization, whether it is a business or a non-profit. Numerous studies have indicated that servant leadership can stimulate creative and innovative behaviors, which are essential aspects of intrapreneurship. However, the existing literature on servant leadership primarily focuses on leader characteristics, with limited knowledge about other influencing factors. This research uniquely explores organizational antecedents, addressing gaps in how servant leadership fosters intrapreneurship. This study aims to explore and identify the antecedents of servant leadership beyond individual characteristics. Participants in this study include principals from various Indonesian private schools. We conducted thorough interviews to gather data, and the transcripts from these interviews were meticulously analyzed to identify key themes. The interview data were analyzed using thematic coding, wherein recurring patterns and themes were identified through a systematic, iterative process. The analysis followed a six-phase framework for thematic analysis, starting with familiarization with the data, generating initial codes, searching for themes, reviewing themes, defining and naming themes, and finally producing the report. According to the results, potential variables for future research in servant leadership and intrapreneurship models include organizational vision and mission, satisfaction with compensation, serving culture, and the role model of the manager.

Educator Recruitment and Selection Strategies in Private Universities in Indonesia: Policies and Practices

The recruitment and selection of educators play a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of higher education in Indonesian private universities. Understanding the strategies and policies involved in this process is vital to improving institutional outcomes. This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 25 peer-reviewed articles published between 2013 and 2023, focusing on educator recruitment and selection strategies in Indonesian private universities.. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, relevant articles were gathered from databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and ERIC. The search utilized keywords such as educator recruitment, selection strategies, private universities, and higher education employment policies. The analysis involved thematic synthesis, identifying trends, challenges, and best practices within the literature. The findings reveal that private universities prioritize educator qualifications, alignment with institutional values, and cultural fit during recruitment. However, they face challenges such as attracting highly qualified educators due to competitive job markets. Moreover, the literature lacks sufficient exploration of digital recruitment tools and their long-term impact on educational quality, indicating an area for future research. This review suggests that future research should explore innovative recruitment strategies, including integrating digital tools, to improve recruitment outcomes and enhance educational quality in private universities.

Accounting Standard for Private Entities: are They Truly Useful? (Survey among Accounting Stakeholders in West Java, Indonesia)

This study examines the usefulness of new accounting standards for Indonesian private entities namely the Indonesian Private Entity Financial Accounting Standard (SAK EP), which will come into effect in 2025, in preparing private entities’ financial statements, from the perspective of various stakeholders: accounting students, accounting educators, financial statement preparers, and financial statement users. It is a simplified accounting framework that is tailored to smaller entities without public accountability and less complexity in reporting financial information while retaining essential information in meeting stakeholders’ need. This study uses two independent variables from accounting decision usefulness theory: (1) accounting stakeholders' level of understanding of the SAK EP and (2) accounting stakeholders' perceptions of the accounting profession. This study collected data from 515 accounting stakeholders in West Java Province, Indonesia, through an online survey. A quantitative research method is employed, and the data is analysed using two key statistical techniques: (1) one-way ANOVA to assess whether there are statistically significant differences in the mean scores of accounting stakeholders, and (2) multiple regression analysis to examine the relationship between the dependent variable (usefulness) and two independent variables (level of understanding of the SAK EP and perception of the accounting profession). The findings showed that: (1) the level of understanding of SAK EP varies among accounting stakeholders; (2) the perception of accounting stakeholders toward the accounting profession is generally high ; (3) the usefulness of SAK EP in preparing high-quality financial statements is highly perceived and (4) high understanding of the SAK EP and better perception of the accounting profession increase the usefulness of the SAK EP standard in the preparation of financial statements among private entities. This study suggests that the implementation of SAK EP in Indonesia is quite challenging, especially in improving the understanding of SAK EP and meeting high expectations of accounting stakeholders.

Undercover Game to Improve English Vocabulary Mastery: Indonesian Private English Course Learners’ Perspectives

This study was the continuation of a classroom action research (CAR) study on the use of Undercover Game to improve the vocabulary mastery of eight Indonesian private English course learners. This previous study revealed that despite the use of the game could visibly make learners learn vocabulary in a fun way, the comparison of pre-tests and post-test results suggested that the game could not sufficiently improve the learners’ vocabulary mastery. Because this finding warranted further investigations and considering the scarcity of research studies investigating the game for vocabulary learning, the present study was conducted to investigate learners’ perspectives on the use of the game for vocabulary learning. Four learners of the eight learners involved in the previous CAR study were randomly selected for semi-structured interviews. The interview results were analysed by using thematic analysis and two themes were found. First, four learners stated that Undercover Game was a fun learning media for learning vocabulary. Second, Undercover Game influenced learners’ ability to learn pronunciation and parts of speech of new words. The result of this study suggested that teachers consider the use of the Undercover Game in large-scale classes. These findings suggested the positive effects of using the game for vocabulary learning.

The study's findings indicated that online learning has an impact on academic achievement. Although most students have positive perceptions of online learning, there are some negative ones as well. However, the university can address these negative perceptions by correcting the relevant errors.

Enhancing the accreditation of Indonesian private universities through the integration of EduQual and accreditation standards of the BAN-PT

Higher education institutions in Indonesia are currently facing significant challenges in maintaining public trust, requiring them to uphold autonomy, transparency, accountability, and continuously meet standards for quality assurance and improvement. This research aims to identify and address the unmet quality aspects in education to elevate the accreditation of private universities from C/Good to B/Very Good or even A/Excellent. By integrating the EduQual model with certification requirements from the Board of National Accreditation for Higher Education (Badan Akreditasi Nasional Perguruan Tinggi, BAN-PT), the research is supported by comprehensive studies of university accreditation reports, questionnaires, focus group discussions (FGD), and expert judgment through interviews and consultations. The data analysis employs gap analysis, importance-performance analysis, and quality function deployment. The study identified twenty-one priority improvement points to enhance accreditation, with six key improvements prioritized from the ninety indicators examined based on customer needs analysis. In the accreditation of private universities, the unmet aspects of education quality lie in the dimension of physical facilities, particularly human resources, as well as in the dimension of personal development, especially in the criteria for research and community service. The study recommends prioritizing investments in human resource development and strengthening research and community service initiatives, as these are critical areas where private universities fall short in meeting accreditation standards and fulfilling educational quality expectations.

Examining Students' Attitudes Towards iPads as Interactive Multimedia Tools and their Impact on Learning Quality in Indonesian Private Secondary School

This study explores students' attitudes toward using iPads as interactive multimedia tools in learning Islamic education (PAI) and examines the impact of this approach on learning quality. With the growing integration of technology in education, understanding the effects of interactive multimedia like iPads on students' learning experiences is critical. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving both quantitative and qualitative analysis. A sample of 123 students from grades 7 to 9 was selected through stratified random sampling from a school that uses iPads in its learning system. Additionally, ten students were purposively chosen for interviews based on varying levels of iPad engagement. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings indicated that students generally had a positive attitude toward using iPads in PAI learning. In both quantitative and qualitative assessments, students described the iPad-based learning as "fun," "interesting," "flexible," and preferred over traditional textbooks. Regression analysis revealed a significant positive effect of students' attitudes on PAI learning quality (Sig = 0.000 0.05). Qualitative data further showed that using iPads improved comprehension, learning effectiveness, and outcomes. The positive attitudes toward iPads suggest that interactive multimedia can enhance student engagement and learning in PAI. This study highlights how the use of iPads positively impacts both the learning process and outcomes, supporting more effective Islamic education. This research demonstrates that students’ positive attitudes toward iPads significantly improve the quality of PAI learning. The findings underscore the importance of incorporating interactive multimedia tools like iPads in teaching to enhance student learning experiences.
